The bottom of the telescopic spring is connected to the support plate, and the top of the telescopic spring is connected to the lifting plate. A sliding hole is provided on the support plate, and the hanging rod is located in the sliding hole. The mooncake automatic forming machine for convenient mold replacement is provided with a lifting molding mold. The mooncake can be fixed on the support bottom plate by the synchronous descent of the molding mold and the fixing cylinder. The demoulding can be completed while the molding mold rises, which has less movement of the mooncake itself, reduces the influence on the molding effect of the mooncake, and increases the processing effect of the device. The molding mold is installed by a threaded manner, which is convenient for replacement and reduces the difficulty of replacement.

[0004] However, when the above solution is implemented, although the forming mold can be separated from the formed mooncake when it rises, the surrounding of the mooncake is still in the shaping cylinder, and it is easy to drive the mooncake up with the rising of the shaping cylinder, which is not conducive to the automatic demoulding of the mooncake and affects the shaping effect. To this end, we provide a mooncake automatic forming machine that is easy to replace the mold to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A plurality of sliding columns 10 are fixedly connected to the side of the lifting plate 3, and the bottom end of each sliding column 10 respectively penetrates into the corresponding slide groove 102 and is fixedly connected to a clamping frame 101, so that the sliding column 10 can slide up and down in the slide groove 102, and the inner wall of each slide groove 102 is fixedly connected with a clamping frame 101 for clamping Two groups of clamping blocks 103 of the positioning clamping frame 101, the bottom surface of the lifting plate 3 is fixedly connected with a compression spring 8, the bottom end of the compression spring 8 is fixedly connected with a top cover 7, the bottom end of the top cover 7 is detachably connected with an embossing plate 6, the bottom end of the mounting tube 4 is detachably connected with a mold sleeve 5, the mold sleeve 5 is threadedly sleeved on the bottom end of the mounting tube 4, the embossing plate 6 is threadedly sleeved on the bottom end of the top cover 7, the mounting method of the mold sleeve 5 and the embossing plate 6 is the existing technology, so that they can be replaced, the top of the stand 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of push rods 11, and the top end of the push rod 11 corresponds to the top end of the mounting tube 4, through the setting of the above structure, the lifting plate 3 is lowered by the cylinder 2, so that the mold sleeve 5 is sleeved on the moon cake filling, and The bottom surface of the mold sleeve 5 will contact the mooncake conveyor belt. At this time, the lifting plate 3 continues to descend and drives the sliding column 10 and the clamping frame 101 to slide in the slide groove 102, and together with the compression spring 8, the top cover 7 and the embossing plate 6 are driven to descend until the embossing plate 6 extrude and shape the mooncake filling. At the same time, the clamping frame 101 will be clamped and fixed in the slide groove 102 by the clamping block 103. When the mooncake is formed, the cylinder 2 is used to control the lifting plate 3 to rise. At this time, the clamping frame 101 drives the installation cylinder 4 and the mold sleeve 5 to rise to prevent the mooncake from adhering to the inner wall of the mold sleeve 5. At this time, the embossing plate 6 continues to squeeze the mooncake under the elastic force of the compression spring 8 to achieve the bottom of the embossing plate 6. The mooncake falls off until the compression spring 8 raises the embossing plate 6 along with the rise of the lifting plate 3, thereby preventing the mooncake from rising along with the mold sleeve 5, making the mooncake have an automatic demoulding effect, and ensuring the molding of the mooncake.

The clamping frame 101 is clamped under the two groups of clamping blocks 103 through the extrusion block 104. When the sliding column 10 is rising, the clamping frame 101 will be clamped under the two groups of clamping blocks 103 through the two extrusion blocks 104 to drive the installation tube 4 to rise, and finally the mold sleeve 5 is driven to rise first. When the top end of the installation tube 4 contacts the bottom end of the push rod 11, the rising of the lifting plate 3 is used to block the installation tube 4, so that the extrusion block 104 is squeezed into the clamping frame 101 through the clamping block 103, so as to ensure the normal rise of the clamping frame 101, and then the embossing plate 6 can be raised again.
